The Journal is devoted to short research announcements (5 pages or less).
Authors
are required to submit their work by electronic and regular mail to one
of the members of the editorial board. Technical
information can be found below.

To be eligible for publication, articles have to contain new results
in noncommutative algebra. Authors are requested to present their work
in a compressed framework, providing sketches of proofs and highlighting
the significance of their results. Short examples are encouraged, as are
explicit links to related mathematics : isolated work is not the aim of
the Journal. Each contribution should clearly indicate in which way it
represents a new step in its area. Authors can publish a detailed version
of their announced work elsewhere, acknowledging prior publication in Algebra
Montpellier Announcements. Note however that an announcement in AMA can
also be exhaustive.

Responsibility for correctness of the work obviously lies with the authors.
However, each submission will be evaluated by an anonymous referee, designated
by the member of the editorial board who received the contribution. In
order to be published, the paper has to be recommended to the editorial
board by this editor and has to be unanimously accepted. Papers, once electronically
published, cannot be modified.

Once a paper is accepted, a copyright agreement
has to be signed by the authors and sent to Montpellier by regular mail.
Authors do not receive any payment and are not required to help defray
costs. Internet access to published papers is entirely free through
the European Mathematical Society's master posting and its mirrors.

A free subscription to an e-mail version
of the table of contents of each number of the Journal is available. Printed
copies of the table of contents and the published papers will be
sent by regular mail upon request, in case of major difficulties in accessing
the Internet. This service should be mainly directed to colleagues in countries
where mathematical research does not have well-established roots.

The administration of the Journal AMA is based at the Département
de Mathématiques de l'Université de Montpellier 2. A management
board is in charge of insuring that the Journal meets its purpose and
that its administrative aspects comply with the requirements of the Université
de Montpellier 2. The management board is to consist of four or five Professors
of the Département des Sciences Mathématiques who conduct
research in Algebra.

Technical information.

The official languages of the Journal are English and French. Short
papers (at most 5 pages) have to be sent simultaneously by e-mail and regular
mail to one of the editors. Moreover, a LaTeX source file is required,
as well as dvi and ps files. Once accepted, a paper will be posted in pdf
format (Portable Document File) and in ps format (PostScript). The
corresponding software
for the pdf format is free.

Authors have to comply with the usual standards of mathematical publications,
and more specifically with the example provided.
They are required to avoid special macros and any nonstandard use of LaTeX.
In case of continuing technical difficulties, accepted papers will be scanned
rather than typeset.

The procedure to be used by the Editorial Board for processing contributions
to AMA is available.
